DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN EMBODIMENTS 1. General Description of Certain Embodiments of the Invention

It has been found that the compounds of the present invention, or salts thereof, exhibit pronounced efficacy in multiple cell-line-derived and patient-derived xenograft models. For example, the compounds of the invention, or salts thereof, are found to lead to complete and durable regression in models of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), myeloma, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), breast cancer, and melanoma. It has also been found that the compounds of the invention result in enhanced inhibition of cell viability, particularly the cells where Wolframin (WFS1) is overexpressed. Without wishing to be bound by any specific theory, it is believed that the compounds of the invention cause calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via a putative Ca²⁺ channel known as Wolframin (WFS1), which induces ER stress and the “unfolded protein response” (UPR) and leads to cell death.

Compounds of the invention are preferably formulated in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. The expression “dosage unit form” as used herein refers to a physically discrete unit of agent appropriate for the patient to be treated. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present invention will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific effective dose level for any particular patient or organism will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed, and like factors well known in the medical arts. The term “patient”, as used herein, means an animal, preferably a mammal, and most preferably a human.

Pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, as an oral or nasal spray, or the like, depending on the severity of the disease or disorder being treated. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the invention may be administered orally or parenterally at dosage levels of about 0.01 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg and preferably from about 1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, of subject body weight per day, one or more times a day, to obtain the desired therapeutic effect.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

Injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.

In order to prolong the effect of a compound of the present invention, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the compound from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the compound then depends upon its rate of dissolution that, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of compound release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.

Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

CARs have been constructed that consist of binding domains, which may be derived from natural ligands, single chain variable fragments (scFv) derived from monoclonal antibodies specific for cell-surface antigens, fused to endodomains that are the functional end of the T-cell receptor (TCR), such as the CD3-zeta signaling domain from TCRs, which is capable of generating an activation signal in T lymphocytes. Upon antigen binding, such CARs link to endogenous signaling pathways in the effector cell and generate activating signals similar to those initiated by the TCR complex.

For example, in some embodiments the CAR-T cell is one of those described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,906,682 (June; hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety), which discloses CAR-T cells engineered to comprise an extracellular domain having an antigen binding domain (such as a domain that binds to CD19), fused to an intracellular signaling domain of the T cell antigen receptor complex zeta chain (such as CD3 zeta). When expressed in the T cell, the CAR is able to redirect antigen recognition based on the antigen binding specificity. In the case of CD19, the antigen is expressed on malignant B cells. Over 200 clinical trials are currently in progress employing CAR-T in a wide range of indications. [https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=chimeric+antigen+receptors&pg=1].

A compound of the current invention can besides or in addition be administered especially for tumor therapy in combination with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, phototherapy, surgical intervention, or a combination of these. Long-term therapy is equally possible as is adjuvant therapy in the context of other treatment strategies, as described above. Other possible treatments are therapy to maintain the patient's status after tumor regression, or even chemopreventive therapy, for example in patients at risk.

Those additional agents may be administered separately from an inventive compound-containing composition, as part of a multiple dosage regimen. Alternatively, those agents may be part of a single dosage form, mixed together with a compound of this invention in a single composition. If administered as part of a multiple dosage regime, the two active agents may be submitted simultaneously, sequentially or within a period of time from one another normally within five hours from one another.

As used herein, the term “combination,” “combined,” and related terms refers to the simultaneous or sequential administration of therapeutic agents in accordance with this invention. For example, a compound of the present invention may be administered with another therapeutic agent simultaneously or sequentially in separate unit dosage forms or together in a single unit dosage form. Accordingly, the present invention provides a single unit dosage form comprising a compound of the current invention, an additional therapeutic agent, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle.

The amount of both an inventive compound and additional therapeutic agent (in those compositions which comprise an additional therapeutic agent as described above) that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. Preferably, compositions of this invention should be formulated so that a dosage of between 0.01-100 mg/kg body weight/day of an inventive compound can be administered.

In those compositions which comprise an additional therapeutic agent, that additional therapeutic agent and the compound of this invention may act synergistically. Therefore, the amount of additional therapeutic agent in such compositions will be less than that required in a monotherapy utilizing only that therapeutic agent. In such compositions a dosage of between 0.01-1,000 μg/kg body weight/day of the additional therapeutic agent can be administered.

The amount of additional therapeutic agent present in the compositions of this invention will be no more than the amount that would normally be administered in a composition comprising that therapeutic agent as the only active agent. Preferably the amount of additional therapeutic agent in the presently disclosed compositions will range from about 50% to 100% of the amount normally present in a composition comprising that agent as the only therapeutically active agent.

The compounds of this invention, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, may also be incorporated into compositions for coating an implantable medical device, such as prostheses, artificial valves, vascular grafts, stents and catheters. Vascular stents, for example, have been used to overcome restenosis (re-narrowing of the vessel wall after injury). However, patients using stents or other implantable devices risk clot formation or platelet activation. These unwanted effects may be prevented or mitigated by pre-coating the device with a pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising a kinase inhibitor. Implantable devices coated with a compound of this invention are another embodiment of the present invention.

Biomarkers

The invention also provides methods of predicting the likelihood of response of a patient to an anticancer treatment with a compound of the invention described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the methods comprise measuring a level of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress or unfold protein response (UPR) in a tumor of the patient. Without being bound to a particular theory, ER stress may generate UPR. ER stress or UPR can be caused by, for example, disruption of intracellular calcium homeostasis, disruption of glycosylation, and/or disruption of nutrient availability. In some embodiments, measuring a level of ER stress or unfold protein response is performed prior to the anticancer treatment. In some embodiments, the level of ER stress or unfolded protein response is a level of Wolfram syndrome 1 (WFS1) or the protein encoded by WFS1.

WFS1 is a gene expressing the wolframin protein. In some embodiments, the protein encoded by WFS1 is wolframin. WFS1 (gene ID 7466, accession number AF084481) encodes the protein wolframin (accession number AAC64943) which is a transmembrane protein that resides in the ER and plays a role in regulating calcium homeostasis.

In some embodiments, methods of predicting the likelihood of response of a patient to an anticancer treatment with a compound of the invention described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof further comprise determining whether to treat the patient with a compound of the invention described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the patient will be treated with the compound if the level of WFS1 or the protein encoded by WFS1 is greater than a reference value from a patient with the same cancer. The “reference value from a patient with the same cancer” is a cut-off value (cut-off point or standard value) for WFS1 or protein encoded by WFS1 expression levels or scores thereof (e.g., mRNA copies or immunohistochemistry staining density, or a combination thereof).

The invention also provides methods of treating a patient with cancer, comprising: measuring an expression level of WFS1 or the protein encoded by WFS1 in a tumor of the patient; and administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound of the invention to the patient if said expression level of WFS1 or the protein encoded by WFS1 is greater than a reference value from a patient with the same cancer. In some embodiments, the methods further comprise administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound of the invention, wherein an expression level of WFS1 or the protein encoded by WFS1 in a tumor of the patient is greater than a reference value from a patient with the same cancer.

The invention also provides in vitro methods for predicting the likelihood of response of a patient to an anticancer treatment with a compound of the invention. The methods comprise a) measuring an expression level of ER stress or unfold protein response in a tumor sample obtained form the patient. In some embodiments, the expression level of ER stress or unfolded protein response is a level of WFS1 or the protein encoded by WFS1. In some embodiments, the methods further comprise b) applying the expression levels of ER stress or unfold protein response in a tumor sample obtained form the patient to a mathematical equation in order to calculate a patient expression score; and c) comparing the patient expression score to a reference level; and identifying the patient as more likely to respond to the anticancer treatment with a compound of the invention is above the reference level. In some embodiments, a patient signature score above the reference level indicates a patient's high likelihood to respond to treatment with a compound of the invention, whereas a patient signature score below the reference level indicates that said patient is less likely to respond to that treatment. The tumor samples can be any suitable samples taken from a patient. Examples include blood, plasma, and biopsy samples.

The expression level of ER stress or unfold protein response, such as the expression level of WFS1 or the protein encoded by WFS1, can be measured by any method known in the art, such as RT-PCR, northern hybridization, ELISA, immunohistochemistry, and/or immunoblotting. In some embodiments, the expression level of WFS1 is an mRNA expression level. RNA sequencing or microarray measurements (e.g., GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array) can also be employed for measuring mRNA expression levels.

In some embodiments, the patient expression score can be calculated from the sum of log 2-transformed mRNA expression levels measured prior to treatment. In some embodiments, the patient expression score is calculated based on mRNA expression levels obtained by RT PCR measurements. The patient expression score calculated using RT PCR may be different from the value calculated based on the microarray technology. However, the patient expression score based on RT PCR can be converted into the value obtained when using microarray technology by established correlation between these methods, as well known to the person of skill in the art.

The invention also provides kits and devices for predicting the likelihood of response of a patient to an anticancer treatment with a compound of the invention. The kits or devices comprise a) reagents to measure an expression level of WFS1 or the protein encoded by WFS1 in a tumor of the patient; and b) a guideline comprising instructions about whether or not a patient would respond to an anticancer treatment with a compound of the invention, wherein an expression level of WFS1 or the protein encoded by WFS1 greater than a reference value from a patient with the same cancer indicates that the patient is likely to respond to the anticancer treatment. The guideline can be a comparator module which comprises a reference value or a set of reference values to which the level of WFS1 in the sample is compared. The comparator module can be in any suitable form. In some embodiments, it is in the form a display device, for example, a strip of colour or numerically coded material which is designed to be placed next to the readout of the sample measurement to indicate the response levels. In some embodiments, the expression level of WFS1 or the protein encoded by WFS1 in the tumor of a patient with cancer is used to predict the likelihood of response of that patient to the compounds of the invention described herein.

The mixture was purged with nitrogen for 15 minutes. tBuXPhos palladacycle (Gen 1) (150 mg, 0.22 mmol) was added to the mixture, then purged with nitrogen for 10 minutes. The reaction was stirred at 60° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the resulting residue was taken into 100 ml of water and extracted with dichloromethane (2×80 ml). The extracts were combined, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo to afford the crude product. The product was purified by column chromatography (120 g SiO₂ column) eluting with a gradient of dichloromethane to 20% methanol. The desired fractions were combined and evaporated, 3.5 g. The resulting material was dissolved in dichloromethane (30 ml), added MP-TMP resin (1.5 g) and stirred for 12 hours. This was filtered through Celite and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo. The resulting material was washed with heptanes and filtered to afford 3.4 g (55% yield) of the product.

Example 3: PLK1 Inhibition Assay

Compounds were screened for their ability to inhibit Plk1 using a radioactive-phosphate incorporation assay. Assays were carried out in a mixture of 25 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl₂, 25 mM NaCl, and 2 mM DTT. Final substrate concentrations were 20 μM [γ-33P]ATP (35mCi 33P ATP/mmol ATP, Perkin Elmer/Sigma Chemicals) and 9 uM Sam68 protein. Assays were carried out at room temperature in the presence of 15 nM Plk1. An assay stock buffer solution was prepared containing all of the reagents listed above, with the exception of ATP and the test compound of interest. 0.75 μL of DMSO stock containing serial dilutions of the test compound (typically starting from a final concentration of 10 μM with 2-fold serial dilutions—final DMSO concentration 1.5%) was placed in a 384 well plate followed by addition of 25 μL [γ-33P]ATP (final concentration 20 μM). The reaction was initiated by addition of 25 μL of the assay stock buffer solution.

The reaction was stopped after 45 minutes by the addition of 25 μL 30% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) containing 10 mM cold ATP. The entire quenched reaction was transferred to a 384-well glass fiber filter plate (Millipore, Cat no. MZFBNOW50). The plate was washed with 3×5% TCA. After drying, 40 μL of Ultima Gold liquid scintillation cocktail (Perkin Elmer) was added to the well prior to scintillation counting in a PerkinElmer TopCount.

After removing mean background values for all of the data points, Ki(app) data were calculated from non-linear regression analysis of the initial rate data using the Prism software package (GraphPad Prism, GraphPad Software, San Diego Calif., USA). The data is summarized in Table 45.

Example 4: Colo 205 Reporter Assay

The compounds of the invention described herein were screened using the assay procedure for β-catenin-TCF-mediated reporter transcription activity described below.

In cells with activated WNT signaling, we have found that induction of ER Stress by the mechanism of these compounds results in a rapid reduction in the activity of this reporter gene and that the activity in the assay correlates with the activity of these compounds as inducers of ER Stress and the UPR, and all other measures of specific activity of these compounds, including calcium release, viability, and displacement of radiolabeled version of these compounds from their specific binding site in cells.

Reporter cell lines were generated by stably transfecting cells of cancer cell lines (e.g., colon cancer) with a plasmid reporter construct (From SABiosciences, a QIAGEN company) that includes TCF/LEF promoter driving expression of the firefly luciferase gene. TCF/LEF reporter constructs were made in which TCF/LEF promoter, a promoter with optimal number of TCF/LEF binding sites designed by SABiosceinces, was linked upstream of the firefly luciferase gene. This construct could also include a puromycin resistance gene as a selectable marker. This construct could also be used to stably transfect Colo 205 cells, a colon cancer cell line having a mutated APC gene that causes a constitutively active β-catenin. A control cell line was generated using another plasmid construct containing the luciferase gene under the control of a CMV basal promoter which is not activated by β-catenin.

Colo 205 Cultured cells with a stably transfected reporter construct were plated at approximately 10,000 cells per well into 384 well multi-well plates for twenty four hours. The testing compounds were then added to the wells in 2-fold serial dilutions using a twenty micromolar top concentration. A series of control wells for each cell type received only compound solvent. Five hours after the addition of compound, reporter activity for luciferase was assayed, by addition of the SteadyGlo luminescence reagent (Promega). The reporter luminescence activity was measured using Pherastar plate reader (BMG Labtech). Readings were normalized to DMSO only treated cells, and normalized activities were then used in the IC50 calculations. The Colo 205 reporter assay data are summarized in Table 45: A<0.3 μM; 0.3 μM≤B<1.0 μM; 1.0 μM≤C<5.0 μM; D≥5.0 μM.

Example 6: HepG2 XBP1 Reporter Assay

HepG2 hepatoma cells were transduced with a retrovirus encoding the cDNA for unspliced (u) XBP1, which contains a non-processed intron, fused to the cDNA for firefly luciferase. Upon induction of ER stress, the non-processed intron of XBP1(u) is spliced out by active IRE1alpha endonuclease. The resulting spliced (s) XBP1 is now in frame with luciferase which causes the production of active luciferase protein, resulting in bioluminescence

HepG2 XBP1(u)-Luc cells were plated Colo 205 Cultured cells with a stably transfected reporter construct were plated at approximately 30,000 cells per well into 96 well multi-well plates for twenty four hours. The testing compounds were then added to the wells in 3-fold serial dilutions using a twenty seven micromolar top concentration. A series of control wells for each cell type received only compound solvent. Six hours after the addition of compound, reporter activity for luciferase was assayed, by addition of the SteadyGlo luminescence reagent (Promega). The reporter luminescence activity was measured using Pherastar plate reader (BMG Labtech). Readings was normalized to DMSO only treated cells, and normalized activities were then used in the IC50 calculations.

Example 7: Calcium Flux Assay

Compounds described herein induced ER stress by causing intracellular calcium flux. Calcium flux was measured in Colo-205 cells using the FLIPR® Calcium 5 Assay Kit according to manufacture's protocol (Molecular Devices, Cat. # R8186) on a FLIPR3 system (Molecular Devices). Calcium flux is measured over 36 minutes. The Colo-205 calcium flux assay data are summarized in Table 47: A<0.6 μM; 0.6 μM≤B<2.0 μM; 2.0 μM≤C<10.0 μM; D≥10.0 μM.

Example 8: Membrane Extraction Protocol

Cell pellets were re-suspended in 15 times packed cellular volume in 4° C. hypotonic lysis buffer (10 mM HEPES, pH 7.5 containing 1×Protease inhibitor, 0.5 mM EDTA and 2 mM DTT). Re-suspended cells were homogenized with 6-8 strokes in a dounce homogenizer kept on ice. Lysates were centrifuged at 500×G for 15 minutes at 4° C. without brake to decelerate rotor. Following centrifugation, remove the supernatant to a fresh tube and place on ice (Supernatant 1). Repeat the above steps on the lysed cell pellet using 0.5 the original volume of hypotonic lysis buffer and remove the 500×G supernatant (Supernatant 2) and combine with Supernatant 1. Transfer the combined supernatants to a 45-Ti ultracentrifuge tube and centrifuge at 100,000×G for 30 minutes. Following ultracentrifugation, carefully remove the supernatant and discard. Resuspend the 100,000×G pellet in cold resuspension buffer (10 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 300 mM NaCl containing 1× Protease inhibitor, 1×EDTA and 2 mM DTT). Centrifuge sample at 500×G for 10 minutes with no brake and remove any cloudy, flocculent material. Resuspend pellet in resuspension buffer to approximately 2 mg/mL of protein concentration for use in radioligand binding assay and immunoblotting.

Example 9: Radioligand Displacement Assay

Radiolabeled Compound 136 (tritiated Compound 136) was shown to specifically bind cellular membrane extracts which over-express WFS1. The binding affinities of compounds were determined by measuring the competitive displacement of a tritiated Compound 136 probe from purified HEK293 membranes over-expressing WFS-1. The data for the radioligand displacement assay are summarized in Table 47: A<0.06 μM; 0.06 μM≤B<0.6 μM; 0.6 μM≤C<3.0 μM; D≥3.0 μM.

The assay was performed in 50 μl assay volume containing a final concentration of 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 300 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.5% DMSO, 0.15 g/mL purified membrane, and tritiated Compound 136 probe at Kd. The probe Kd was determined by titrating tritiated probe under the standard assay conditions plus and minus excess unlabeled probe and fitting the resulting data to a “One site-Total and nonspecific binding” model in Graphpad Prism, version 6.0, San Diego, Calif., US. Initially, 0.25 μl of compound dissolved in DMSO at varying concentrations was dispensed to a 384 well plate. Membrane and probe were both prepared at 2× their final concentration in 1× assay buffer as described above. 25 μL of membrane was added to the wells and incubated for 10 minutes. 25 μL of diluted probe was then added to the wells. The assay was incubated for 90 minutes at room temperature. The entire assay volume was then transferred to Millipore GF/B 384-well plates pretreated with 15 μL 0.5% PEI. The filter plates were washed 3× with 75 μL 25 mM TRIS, ph7.5, 0.1% BSA and then dried overnight. Following addition of 45 μL UltimaGold scintillant, the samples were counted in a Perkin Elmer Topcount. The radioactivity remaining is a measure of bound probe. From the bound probe vs concentration of compound titration curve, the IC50 is determined by fitting the data to a standard 3 parameter IC50 model using either Graphpad Prism, version 6.0, San Diego, Calif., US, or using GeneData Analyzer, Basel, Switzerland.

Example 10. WFS1 Knockout, Knockdown, and Over-Expression Studies 10A. Materials and Experiments

Creation of Cells Stably Over-Expressing WFS1

WFS1 cDNA is amplified from clone RC202901 (Origene Technologies) with primers 5′-TCC GCG GCC CCA AGC TTA TCG CCA TGG ACT CCA ACA CTG C-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 1), 5′-GAT GGG CCC AGA TCT CGA GTC AGG CCG CCG ACA GGA ATG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 2) and cloned into a retroviral mammalian expression vector pCLPCX using HD Infusion (CLONTECH) at Hind3-Xho1 sites using standard procedures. The resulting clone is identified as pCLPCX_WFS1.

HEK293 (ATCC, catalog # CRL-1573) cells are plated in 10 cm dishes (Corning, product #430167) into 10 mL of complete DMEM cell culture media [DMEM (Life Technologies, product #11960-051) media supplemented with 10% FBS (Hyclone, catalog # SH30071.03), antimycotic/antibiotic (Life Technologies, product #15240-062), and Glutamax (Life Technologies, product #35050-061)] at 3×10⁶ cells per dish. Cells are allowed to attach and grow overnight at 37° C. in humidified 5% CO₂. Cells are co-transfected with pVSV-G, pCMV-Gag/Pol and pCLPCX_WFS1 using Fugene 6 (Promega, catalog #E2691) according to manufacturer's protocol. Separately, cells are co-transfected with pVSV-G, pCMV-Gag/Pol and pCLPCX to produce control retrovirus. Cell culture media containing retrovirus (viral supernatant) is collected at 48 and 72 hours following transfection, filtered through a 0.4 uM filter, and stored at −80° C.

HEK293 cells are plated in 6 well plates (Corning, product #3516) in 2 mL of complete DMEM cell culture media at 1×10⁵ cells well and allowed to attach and grow overnight at 37° C. in humidified 5% CO₂. The following day, the media is replaced with viral supernatant to which 10 ug/ml of Polybrene® (Santa Cruz Biotech, catalog # sc-134220) is added. Viral supernatant is replaced 24 hours later with complete DMEM media. Transduced cells are selected in complete DMEM cell culture media containing 1 microgram/mL of puromycin (Life Technologies, catalog #A1113803).

Creation of Cells with Stable Knockdown of WFS1

Colo-205 (ATCC, catalog #CCL-222), HepG2 (ATCC, catalog #HB-8065), CFPAC1 (ATCC, catalog #CRL-1918), or DU4475 (ATCC, catalog #HTB-123) cells are plated in 10 mL of complete DMEM cell culture media [DMEM (Life Technologies, product #11960-051) media supplemented with 10% FBS (Hyclone, catalog # SH30071.03), antimycotic/antibiotic (Life Technologies, product #15240-062), and Glutamax (Life Technologies, product #35050-061)] at 3×10⁶ cells per 10 cm cell culture plate (Corning, product #430167). Cells are allowed to attach and grow overnight at 37° C. in humidified 5% CO2. Cells are transduced by addition of 1×10⁶ infectious units of lentivirus encoding WF S1 shRNA (Santa Cruz Biotech, catalog # sc-61804-V) or a non-targeting control shRNA (Santa Cruz Biotech, catalog # sc-108080) and 10 ug/ml of Polybrene® (Santa Cruz Biotech, catalog # sc-134220) to the cell culture media. After 48 hours transduced cells are selected by the addition of 1 microgram/mL of puromycin (Life Technologies, catalog # A1113803) to the cell culture media.

Creation of Cells with WFS1 Knockout by CRISPR/Cas9

A double cleavage strategy was employed to remove large fragments from the WFS1 locus. Suitable target sites in WFS1 exon 8 were first selected using CRISPR design software to rank suitable target sites and computationally predict off-target sites for each intended target. Six top guide RNA sequences are identified and screened for activity using the Surveyor Mutation Detection Kit (Integrated DNA Technologies). Then, the best 2 guide RNAs were cloned into GeneArt OFP CRISPR nuclease vectors (Thermofisher, Cat #A21174) separately and co-transfected into HepG2 cells using nucleofection (4D Nucleofector X, Lonza). Cells were sorted by FACS 48 hrs later to enrich for the OFP positive cell population. The OFP positive cell population were plated into 96-well plates at 0.5-5 cells/well to isolate clonal cell lines. After allowing cells to expand for 2-3 weeks, plates were inspected for presence of colonies. When colonies became more than 70% confluent, they were dissociated with trypsin and were further expanded. Cell clones with homozygous double cleavage of WFS1 exon 8 were detected with PCR and confirmed with DNA sequencing.

Determination of Cellular WFS1 Protein Levels

Cell lysates are prepared either by whole cell lysis with cold Lysis Buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM Na2EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1% Triton, 2.5 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 1 mM beta-glycerophosphate, 1 mM Na3VO4, 1 μg/ml leupeptin, 0.05% SDS) or by membrane extraction using Mem-PER™ Plus Membrane Protein Extraction Kit (Life Technologies, catalog #89842). Protein content of cell lysates is determined using the BCA assay (Life Technologies Cat #23225). Twenty micrograms of protein are loaded onto Nupage 3-8% TA gels (Life Technologies, catalog #EA0375BOX) and subjected to electrophoresis in Tris-Acetate SDS running buffer (Life Technologies, catalog # LA0041) approximately 1.5 hours. Protein is transferred to nitrocellulose membranes via wet transfer in Tris-glycine transfer buffer (Life Technologies, catalog #LC3675) containing 0.2% SDS and 10% methanol. Nitrocellulose membranes were blocked in Odyssey® blocking buffer (Li-Cor Bioscience, catalog #927-40000) for at least 1 hour. Wfs1 protein (i.e. wolframin) was detected by immunoblotting with anti-WFS1 antibody (Abcam, catalog # ab176909) diluted in Odyssey blocking buffer overnight at 4° C. Membranes were washed 3 times in TBST (50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20) at room temperature and then immunoblotted with anti-rabbit antibody conjugated with IRDye 800 (Li-Cor Bioscience catalog #926-32211) for 1 hour at room temperature while rocking gently. Membranes were imaged on the ODYSSEY® CLx Imaging System (Li-Cor Bioscience). Wolframin has a predicted kDa of ˜110 kD.

Determination of Compound Effects on In Vitro Cell Viability

HEK293 cells containing empty pCLPCx vector (HEK293 empty), HEK293 cells stably over-expression WFS1 (HEK293 WFS1), HepG2, and HepG2 cells where WFS1 was depleted via CRISPR/Cas9 (HepG2 WFS1 KO) cells were plated into 96-well black plates (Corning, product #3904) in 100 microliters of complete DMEM cell culture media [DMEM (Life Technologies, product #11960-051) media supplemented with 10% FBS (Hyclone, catalog #SH30071.03), antimycotic/antibiotic (Life Technologies, product #15240-062), and Glutamax (Life Technologies, product #35050-061)] at 1,000 (HEK293) or 5,000 (HepG2) cells per well. Cells were allowed to attach and grow overnight, after which compounds are added at various concentrations. Cell viability was assessed 96 hrs after compound addition with CellTiter-Glo reagent (Promega, catalog #G7570) according to manufacturer's protocol and measurement on a Pherastar luminescence plate reader (BMG Labtech).

10B. Results and Discussions

Knockout of WFS1 by CRISPR/Cas9 Blocks the Ability of Compounds to Cause Calcium Flux, Induce ER Stress Markers, Induce Global Gene Expression Changes, and Inhibit Cell Viability.

CRISPR/Cas9 was used to create HepG2 cells with a WFS1 gene deletion. Compared to parental HepG2 cells (FIG. 2 , lane 1), HepG2 cells subjected to WFS1 gene deletion (FIG. 2 , lane 2) have a complete absence of WFS1 protein expression. FIG. 2 also shows the presence of monomeric and multimeric forms of WFS1, all of which are absent in the WFS1 gene deleted cells. There was no difference in tubulin protein levels between parental HepG2 and HepG2 WFS1 knockout cells (FIG. 2 , lanes 1 and 2, respectively).

Compounds described herein showed induction of calcium flux, as shown in FIG. 5A and exemplified by induction of luciferase in HepG2 cells containing an XBP1-Luc reporter (Table 47). In order to determine whether WFS1 is involved in compound induced calcium flux, parental HepG2 cells and HepG2 cells with CRISPR/Cas9 mediated WFS1 knockout (KO) were subjected to increasing concentrations of Compound 136 and intracellular calcium levels were measured after 30 minutes of compound addition. Depletion of WFS1 from HepG2 cells completely eliminated Compound 136 ability to induce calcium flux as compared to parental HepG2 cells (FIG. 5A), suggesting WFS1 expression level relates to the ability of the compounds to induce calcium flux.

Also, in order to determine whether WFS1 is involved in compound induced ER stress, parental HepG2 cells and HepG2 cells with CRISPR/Cas9 mediated WFS1 knockout (KO) were exposed to Compound 136 or thapsigargin for 6 hours after which time cell lysates were prepared and subjected to immunoblotting. FIG. 6 shows that WFS1 depletion prevents the induction of the ER stress marker proteins XBP1(s) and ATF4 by Compound 136. In contrast, depletion of WFS1 had a much lesser effect on thapsigargin (thaps) induced XBP1(s) and ATF4. These results further indicate that WFS1 expression level relates to the ability of the compounds to induce calcium flux. Further, depletion of WFS1 from HepG2 cells prevented Compound 136 from causing changes in global gene expression after 6 hours of exposure (FIG. 7 ). In contrast WFS1 depletion had no effect on thapsigargin induced changes in global gene expression (FIG. 7 .)

To determine the effect of WFS1 depletion on compound mediated inhibition of cell viability, parental HepG2 cells and HepG2 cells where WFS1 was deleted by CRISPR/Cas9 were exposed to increasing concentrations of either Compound 136 or Compound 253 for 96 hours after which time viability was determined using Cell Titer Glo reagent (Promega). Depletion of WFS1 from HepG2 cells resulted in a greater than 100 fold shift in IC50 for Compound 136 and a greater than 5 fold shift in IC50 for Compound 253, suggesting that WFS1 is required for compounds described herein to inhibit cell viability (Table 47 and Table 48). The IC50s for the viability of both the HepG2 parental and WFS1 knockout cells are summarized in Table 47: A<0.5 μM; 0.5 μM≤B<2.0 μM; 2.0 μM≤C<10.0 μM; D≥10.0 μM.

To determine the effect of WFS1 over-expression on compound mediated effects on calcium flux and cell viability, Hek293 cells were transduced with either an empty retroviral vector or a retroviral vector expressing full length WFS1 cDNA. Hek293 cells transduced with the WFS1 encoding retrovirus expressed greater than 100 times the amount of WFS1 protein than empty vector Hek293 cells (FIG. 3 ). The effect of WFS1 over-expression on the induction of calcium flux induced by Compound 136 is shown in FIG. 5B. Over-expression of WFS1 resulted in approximately 10 fold reduction in the EC50 of Compound 136, suggesting that WFS1 is involved in the mechanism of action for the compounds described herein.

Further, the effect of WFS1 over-expression on the inhibition of cell viability by Compounds 136 and 253 is shown in Table 49 (below). Over-expression of WFS1 in Hek293 cells results in greater than a 1000 fold reduction in the IC50 of both of these of compounds, suggesting that WFS1 alone is sufficient to impart sensitivity of non-responder cells to the compounds described herein. The IC50s for the viability of both the Hek293 empty vector and WFS1 over-expressing cells are summarized in Table 47: A<0.06 μM; 0.06 μM≤B<0.6 μM; 0.6 μM≤C<3.0 μM; D≥3.0 μM.

Transduction of HepG2 (FIG. 4 ), DU4475 (FIG. 4 ), and Colo-205 (not shown) cells with a lentivirus encoding a shRNA targeting WFS1 resulted in a greater than 75% reduction of WFS1 protein levels when compared to cells transduced with lentivirus encoding a non-targeting control shRNA as determined by immunoblot (FIG. 4 ). Stable knockdown of WFS1 protein levels in DU4475 and Colo-205 cells containing the TC-Luc reporter resulted in a 5 to 7 fold increase in the IC₅₀ for Compound 253 and Compound 136 in blocking TCF reporter activity as compared to control cells (Table 50). Furthermore, knockdown of WFS1 protein levels in DU4475, Colo-205, and HepG2 cells resulted in a greater than 50 fold increase in the IC₅₀ for Compound 253 and Compound 136 in reducing cell viability as compared to control cells (Table 51). These results suggest that WFS1 is involved in the inhibition of TCF reporter activity and viability of the tested compounds.

Binding capacity of Compound 136 to cellular membrane extracts correlates with levels of WFS1 protein.

The binding affinity of radiolabeled Compound 136 to cell membranes derived from cells expressing different levels of WFS1 as determined by immunoblotting is shown in FIG. 8 . As the figure shows, the Bmax (pg/mol) of Compound 136 correlates with the level of WFS1 protein in cellular membrane. This correlation is consistent with Compound 136 and the compounds described herein directly binding to WFS1 or a WFS1 associated complex or a protein complex in tight stoichiometry with WFS1.

Example 11. In Vivo Inhibition of TCF/LEF Reporter Activity in Tumors

Determination of Compound Effects on In Vivo Tumor TCF/LEF Reporter Activity

Colo205-TCF/LEF-Luciferase (Luc) tumor cells were expanded in complete DMEM cell culture media [DMEM (Life Technologies, product #11960-051) media supplemented with 10% FBS (Hyclone, catalog # SH30071.03), antimycotic/antibiotic (Life Technologies, product #15240-062), and Glutamax (Life Technologies, product #35050-061)] with 1 ug/ml puromycin. After reaching confluency/high density, the loosely attached cells in media were transferred from the flask to 50 ml conical tubes. Tumor cells adhered to plastic were detached with trypsin and combined with cells in the conical tubes. The tumor cells were triturated, counted, and pelleted by centrifugation. Cell pellets were resuspended in 0.9% injectable saline (6×10{circumflex over ( )}7 cells/ml). A 50 ul volume (3×10{circumflex over ( )}6 cells) was injected subcutaneously in the flanks of 4-6 wk old female nu/nu mice (Charles River Laboratories). Approximately 13-16 days after implantation, tumors between 200-500 mm{circumflex over ( )}3 were selected (based on caliper measurements and applying the formula volume=width×length×0.54) and randomized into groups of n=4. Mice were dosed by oral gavage with compound dissolved in 1:3:5:1 EtOH:DMSO:PEG-400:H₂O at a rate of 10 ml/kg or 1:3:5:1 EtOH:DMSO:PEG-400:H₂O alone (Vehicle Control). Tumors were collected from mice euthanized by CO₂ inhalation and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Tumors were stored in a −80 degrees C. freezer until they were processed.

Tumors were thawed on ice and homogenized in cold Lysis Buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM Na2EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1% Triton, 2.5 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 1 mM beta-glycerophosphate, 1 mM Na3VO4, 1 μg/ml leupeptin, 0.05% SDS) using a closed tissue grinder system (Fisher Scientific, Cat #02-542-09) on ice according to manufacturer's instructions. For 100 mg of tumor, 500 uL of Lysis Buffer was used. Tumor lysate was transferred to a pre-chilled microcentrifuge tube and centrifuged at 10,000×g for 10 minutes at 4 degrees C. Supernatant was transferred to a new pre-chilled microcentrifuge tube and was used immediately for analysis of protein content and luciferase activity.

Protein content of tumor lysate supernatant was determined using the BCA assay (Life Technologies Cat #23225). Luciferase activity of tumor lysate supernatant was determined by addition of Steady-Glo luminescence reagent (Promega, Cat # E2550) according to manufacturer's instructions and measurement on a Pherastar luminescence plate reader (BMG Labtech). Luciferase activity was normalized to protein content.

Example 12. In Vivo Efficacy

Female immune deficient mice (Charles River, 4-6 wks age) were anesthetized with Ketamine-Xylazine (140 mg/kg-14 mg/kg ip) and shaved. Puralube eye ointment was applied to the eyes to prevent desiccation of the corneas. Betadine and 7000 ethanol was applied to the shaved location to sterilize the skin at the location of the incision. The animals were placed in a biosafety cabinet for the duration of the surgery. Using scissors, an 8 to 10 mm incision was made in the lateral flank of the skin. A tumor fragment weighing between 50 and 150 mg was placed under the skin at the incision site using forceps, and staples were used to close the incision. The staples were removed 5 to 7 days after surgery. Starting approximately two weeks after implantation, animals were weighed, and tumors were measured using caliper twice weekly. Tumor volume was calculated using the formula: volume=length×width{circumflex over ( )}2×0.52.

Compound administration began when xenografts reached approximately 100-300 mm3 and continued until control xenografts reached 10% of the animal's body weight. Test compounds were administered orally by gastric gavage. Percent tumor growth inhibition (% TGI) was calculated on the indicated treatment day. Percent TGI is defined as: [1-(del T/del C)]×100%, where del T is the final minus initial average volumes of the treated group, and del C is the final minus initial average volumes of the control group. Table 54 shows efficacies of multiple testing compounds against the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) adenocarcinoma line OD33966 in nu/nu mice. The tested compounds were administered orally. Vehicle control consisted of either 0.5% methylcellulose/0.1% sodium lauryl sulfate or 20% captisol. Tumor volumes were determined by caliper measurement twice a week.

Table 55 shows efficacy of Compound 136 against various tumorXenograft models. As shown in Table 55, Compound 136 inhibits growth of tumor xenografts derived from multiple cancer types. Tumors were engrafted in either SCID or nude mice. Compound 136 was administered orally once a day (QD) at 100 mg/kg. Vehicle control consisted of 0.500 methylcellulose/0.1% sodium lauryl sulfate. Tumor volumes were determined by caliper measurement twice a week. TGL: tumor growth inhibition at end of treatment. CR: complete regression (majority response on treatment is that tumors become undetectable), PR: partial regression (majority response on treatment is that tumors shrink by at least 330%).

Methods

Cells were removed from liquid nitrogen storage, thawed and expanded in appropriate growth media. Once expanded, cells were seeded in 384-well tissue culture treated plates at 500 cells per well. After 24 hours, cells were treated for either 0 hours or treated for 96 hours with Compound 136 (at the concentrations of 100 nM and 2 uM). At the end of either 0 hours or 96 hours, cell status was analyzed using ATPLite (Perkin Elmer) to assess the biological response of cells to drug combinations.

Growth Inhibition

In this study, growth inhibition (GI) was used as the primary endpoint. ATP monitoring was performed using ATPLite, which allows for the monitoring of cytocidal, cytostatic and proliferative effects of drugs on cells.

a. Univariate Gene Expression Analysis

Analyses of the transcript expression level and synergy value correlations were undertaken in both an unbiased and biased manner. The unbiased course involved choosing any genes with p values less than 0.06 or 0.1 after multiple test correction. Other genes were added in a biased manner, taking into consideration biological function and relationship to relevant pathways.

I. Results

The Association Between WFS1 Gene Expression and Response to Compound 136

The relationship between WFS1 gene expression and response to Compound 136 was evaluated in a panel of 9 bladder cancer cell lines (Table 57). Response to Compound 136 was associated with response (FIG. 9 ) and the association was statistically significant (Spearman rho 0.68, p-value 0.048).

In addition, the relationship between response to Compound 136 and response was further assessed in a panel of 428 cancer cell lines (Table 58). As expected, WFS1 gene expression was associated with response to Compound 136 at 2 μM (FIG. 10 ) and this association was statistically significant (Spearman rho 0.42, p value 0.0056).

Finally, an in vivo study was run to evaluate the relationship between WFS1 expression in patient derived xenografts (PDX). To do this, the 10 lung PDX models with the highest WFS1 gene expression and the 10 lung PDX models with the lowest WFS1 gene expression were selected from the Oncotest compendium. There was a strong association between WFS1 gene expression and response to Compound 136 in PDX models (FIG. 11 ).

CONCLUSIONS

WFS1 was predictive of response to Compound 136 as a single agent in cancer cell lines and in patient-derived xenografts. The WFS1 expression/Compound response relationship was held in the experiments using PDX model systems.
